Migration, multilingualism and education in France and Germany:
Critical perspectives on inclusion

On 31.05.17 and 01.06.2017, the Franco-German University organized an international, socially highly relevant, trilingual (German/French/English) colloquium on "Migration, multilingualism and education in France and Germany: Critical perspectives on inclusion" at the ESPE de l'Académie de Strasbourg in Strasbourg. The University of Kassel was a co-applicant. Prof. Dr. Claudia Finkbeiner organized a section with important contributions to two PRONET projects of the field of action III, "Multilingualism potentials in bilingual subject teaching" (P9) and "Interlocking of study workshops" (P5).
For P9, Prof. Dr. Claudia Finkbeiner together with Dr. Jennifer Schluer and Anna Petzoldt spoke in German and English on multilingualism in bilingual subject teaching and its potential for diversifying learning communities (project management: Prof. Dr. Claudia Finkbeiner, Prof. Dr. Bernd Tesch and Prof. Dr. Christine Pflüger). The results of the project and teaching materials developed in the project for bilingual history lessons on the topic of  "Stunde Null" were presented and discussed.
This was followed by a further interesting input from Dr. Sabrina Schude and Prof. Dr. Claudia Finkbeiner in English and German, who discussed the interlinking of the study workshops at the University of Kassel in general and the work of the Integrated Language Study Workshop of Faculty 02 in particular. The topic of "foreignness" was presented by Dr. Schude as an overarching theme for the interlinking of all participating study workshops. Prof. Dr. Finkbeiner then used the specific example of the "ABCs Model of Cultural Understanding" to explain how it is implemented in the English Department's Language Workshop. Both presentations were followed by a stimulating discussion and Q&A session. Overall, the contributions met with a very high level of interest and participation in the two-day international colloquium was very beneficial.
